"AC Milan will name a largely unchanged side against Atalanta on Tuesday night; however, it could be a big chance for some. The result against Pisa was not good enough, but considering the circumstances, it is not the end of the world. Saying that, though, some may be close to their final chance if they are not there yet already. Especially with others returning."
"For this game, then, Massimiliano Allegri will look to keep the team largely the same, as Sky Sport reports tonight. Mike Maignan will remain in goal, whilst Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic have no reason to be dropped from the back three. Fikayo Tomori will return alongside the duo, though, after Koni De Winter started on Friday night. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi remain the choices at wing-back, largely out of necessity, whilst the midfield also follows suit."
AC Milan will use a largely unchanged starting XI for the match against Atalanta, keeping stability after the Pisa draw. Mike Maignan starts in goal with Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic retained in the back three. Fikayo Tomori returns to complete the three-man defence after Koni De Winter started on Friday. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi occupy the wing-back roles largely out of necessity. Luka Modric anchors midfield with Youssouf Fofana and Samuele Ricci alongside him. Santiago Gimenez pairs with Rafael Leao up front, but Gimenez's place could be threatened as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic near full fitness.
